thanks for the info. indeed it works: /var/log/boot has all the boot messages.
now for the messages of interest. i have been getting them as of ~1 month ago.
their appearance coincided with the appearance of another phenomenon: my
system momentarily hangs every 4 mins 2 secs exactly. by 'momentarily hangs'
i mean the CPU usage jumps to 50-99% usage (by events/0) and the system
doesn't respond to keyboard or mouse input. this lasts for about 1 second.
the messages are these, abbreviated somewhat:
